Thanksgiving Weekend & The search for OZ

Thanksgiving weekend temperatures called for some NC mountain riding, and some type of adventure ride. Some pics are from Saturday's ride with a fellow adventure rider, Dale Cooke from Wilkesboro. We explored many areas from Wilson creek to Linville, via gravel roads and logging roads.

Sunday's weather was perfect for a adventure ride, with a theme of course. When I was 10 yrs old, my parents took me to a theme park called "The Land of OZ", located on top of Beech Mountain. I had heard it closed approximately 25-30 yrs ago, but some of it still existed. Lesa and I loadaed up the bikes, and headed off to find it ! We traveled mostly gravel and forest service roads to Beech Mountain, and after much searching, found the "Land of OZ"
